VUDA City Park (Central Park) in Visakhapatnam is where greenery, music, and calmness meet right in the heart of the city. Sometimes, the best places aren’t far away — they’re tucked within the very streets we travel every day. My visit to this peaceful urban escape felt like stepping away from the chaos without ever leaving town, offering a refreshing break that blended nature and city life beautifully.
